The size of the island stands at approximately 347 sq. km (133 sq. mi) and has a population of just over 100,000, with about 5000 populating the capital, St. George’s. It is situated 166km (103m) north of Trinidad and Tobago and about 829km ( 515m) from Caracas, Venezuela. A year round tropical climate is experienced on the island with average temperatures ranging fro 24-30 degrees c (75-87F).  The island is on the southern end of the Windward chain of islands.  This positioning generally makes Grenada a safe zone from hurricanes.  You find that boats regularly come here every season as a hurricane retreat.
